The next day, the employees were busily working in their Shop Around the Corner. After the shop closed, Misty went to her counter and started counting how many money they have made. Eyes wide of shock, she cried, "What?! Only 20 190 dollars??? That's 1200 dollars less than we had last year!!! What happened?"
"See? I told you we were going to get broke. But would you listen?" cried Delia.
"Nope…" echoed Marina and Tracey in unison.
Misty sighed, "But… but… why? I mean, we were doing so well before…"
The next day, Misty was working as hard as she could, worried about the money. Marina, worried about Misty's behavior, calmly as she could said, "Misty, it's okay. It's only 1200 dollars."
All Misty could do was nod. She then noticed a man and two kids beside him entering the store. The girl was about 10, the boy, 7, and the man was about her age. Misty couldn't stop thinking, "Man is he cute…"
She walked up to the man and asked, "May I help you?"
"No, we're just browsing." Answered the man, leaning over and putting his hand on the two kid's shoulders. "These two kids were just looking for some little treats. Now isn't that right?"
Kneeling down, Misty asked the little boy, "What do you want to get? We have a lot of pokemon stuff here in this store."
In a tough voice, the boy said, "I want a charizard. They're cool 'n' mean 'n' tough! They could kick any pokemon's – "
"Dan…" said the man before the boy could say anything else. "Watch your manners…"
"That's alright," Misty said in a gentle voice, "how would you like this?" Misty pulled out from a shelf beside her a small plush toy Charizard.
"Wow…" the boy said in an awed voice, "It's awsome…"
Tugging on the man's shirt, the girl asked in a whisper, "Can I look around?"
"Sure you can," answered the man. He looked at Misty and smiled. "You have some store here."
"You can say that." Misty smiled back.
"My name's Ash. Yours?"
"Misty. Misty Waterflower."
Extending his hand, Ash said, "Nice to meet you."
"You too." Replied Misty as she shook Ash's hand. "Are those your kids?" She couldn't help but asked.
Ash chuckled, "No way. That girl over there, looking around. Her name's Anne. She's my aunt." Ash saw the puzzled look on Misty's face. "She's the daughter of my grandpa's future wife."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. And this guy here," Ash said as he noogied the head of the boy beside him, "is Dan. He's my lil' bro."
"Really."
"Yup! That's right!" Ash said.
Anne came running back to Ash, holding a pokeball.
"Can I have this? Please? Please? Pleeaase???"
"A PokeBall?"
"Yeah! Aren't I old enough yet? I'm ten… That's when you started training with pokemon wasn't it?"
"You train pokemon?" Misty asked.
"He used to!" said an excited Anne, "He was one of the best of the best trainers around! So can I have it? Please? I'm your aunt!"
"Well…"
"It costs a hundred dollars (isn't that how much it costs in the game?)." Said Misty as if she read Ash's mind.
"A hundred dollars eh?" pondered Ash, "Well, if you really want to start training that bad… Sure you can!"
As they all headed for the cashier, Misty added the prices and said, "That's a 110 dollars please." Ash gave her the money. "Thank you very much."
"Say bye kids!" cooed Ash.
In unison, they all said, "Bye Misty!"
"Bye!" was Misty's reply.
"Hey! Misty!" shouted Marina. "Come here!"
Coming to her, Misty said, "Yes?"
"Do you want to come to my house tonight? Tracey and Delia are coming too. So, how about it?"
"Well, I don't think I have anything tonight, so, I guess I could!"
That night was great. They had a big BBQ, games, all for three people. It was one of the most fun time of Misty's life until a small conversation ruined it all. Marina asked:
"Does anybody here know who owns that "Ketchum's" Pokemon Superstore?"
"Probably a real bonehead." Snide remarked Tracey.
"Don't say that." Retorted Delia, "The person who really owns that store is really the son of Giovanni. One of the top pokemon merchandise sellers in Kanto and Jhoto."
"That doesn't really matter till you tell the name!" Urged Misty.
"Well, supposedly his name is Ketchum…"
They all fall down in her stupidity (or anime style, if you like to call it that too).
"What was that?" Delia asked her beloved necklace, "Oh? His first name? Oh! His first name is Ash."
"What?!" cried Misty in complete and total shock, "Ash? HE owns the shop? Why that stupid son of a… He came to our shop yesterday!"
"WHAT?" cried her three coworkers.
